Why does a paypal account get limited?

[timewo]

Some members complain that their paypal account is limited and they cannot receive payment. Other than chargeback from customers who complain or want a refund, what is the reason why a paypal account will get limited?

 

[Hate2Wait]

I have realized and observed from users that the reason could be when you receive payment from a seller or a person or website that is considered a spammy one by Paypal or those that deal in crypto because earlier Paypal was against crypto and was not allowing users to transact or buy crypto but you never know when a Paypal account is being limited by them without any reason.

Your account may be restricted if PayPal suspects unauthorized use of it, in order to safeguard you from fraudulent charges while it looks into the suspected transactions.

Even worse, sometimes they terminate your account and keep any balance without any reason necessary. You can try to plead with Support, but all you get back are canned responses that have nothing to do with your problem. I will never do business with PayPal again.

PayPal account get limited to avoid the issue of fraud in its platform. PayPal is a legit online payment processor that is licensed and subject its operation under US financial regulations.

Paypal limits the amount that unverified Paypal accounts can receive and transfer in a single transaction. This is part of their measure to prevent fraudulent activity from taking place. An unverified Paypal account has a limitation of receiving/transferring $500 in a month, whilst verified paypal accounts can conduct a maximum of $10,000 per transaction. To simply remove this transaction limit, you can verify your paypal account by linking your credit card or bank account to your Paypal account to verify it. Some websites require members to have verified a Paypal account to receive payment for this specific reason.

Your PayPal account can be limited when you suddenly have good amount of money paid into your account that's never like that it will be limited.

Or just freeze it for six months without any notice or warning.

Sometimes, it gets limited, because someone might be using it without the owners knowledge, it is just one way to avoid fraudulent acts.
